The second season of TLC’s genealogy docu-series “Who Do You Think You Are?” will feature six new journeys with Valerie Bertinelli, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Lauren Graham, Kelsey Grammer, Cynthia Nixon, Rachel McAdams and her sister, Kayleen McAdams.

Someone I follow on Twitter mentioned this movie as a great view – “Babakiueria” is about racial role reversal. It’s described as a “1986 Australian satirical film on relations between Indigenous Australians and Australians of European descent.”

Due to not wanting the copyright gods after me, I don’t want to post something to infringe the rights, but I did include the reddit name and mascot “Snoo” in my screen shot – will remove if illegal, my bad, and I apologize in advance, no infringement intended.

Click…click…4 hours later…click…click…this place is addicting. I click around to discover new subreddits. I feel I have to check it at least once daily, and more, whenever I get the chance. I just don’t want to miss anything.

You can “Ask Reddit” anything – go ask a question to the community and see what kind of responses you get. And no, you don’t have to have a username just to read, or as it’s known, “lurking”.

Since there are “subreddits”, it’s not just their front page you can read…you have an entire site with many subgroups with that much more information!!!!

Check out this one: EarthPorn. Don’t worry, it’s “safe for work”, and these are beautiful photos of the Earth…nature, weather, flora, fauna, sunsets, etc. I love to see snow pics (read: WinterPorn). Other favorites are AgriculturePorn, FoodPorn and DessertPorn (“the stomach is a dream factory”). I know the word “porn” is harsh to the reader, but these safe-for-work entries are awe-inspiring to fellow photographers like me.

So what does imgur have to do with it? imgur is a pictures site (pronounced “imager”), which not only hosts photo uploads for free, it has a comments format wherein you can add your own and add to other’s postings. Similar to reddit, only more photo-centric. “imgurians”, as they call themselves, are a tight-knit bunch, and proudly say so! Many things posted on Reddit (like a photo with a story behind it) have the actual photo hosted on imgur – so the two are literally linked. You can certainly go on imgur itself without reddit – just check out a screenshot from today of the most viral photos:

You can click on any of the photos and it will take you to its hosting page, whereupon you can not only see the entire photo, you can see what the “Original Poster” (OP) said about the photo. Not all these photos are original, as sometimes they’re ‘borrowed’ from the web or other hosting sites. It’s certainly considered bad form to claim a photo as your own when it isn’t.

As with many cliques, where the cool kids know all the inside jokes, these 2 sites certainly have some:

“banana for scale” – refers to the need for something to be compared to a real life object to note contextual size
